From the late 1960s until 1992, Danish authorities forced around 4,500 Inuit women, around half of all those of child-bearing age, to wear a contraceptive coil — or intrauterine device (IUD) — without their consent.

Hello everybody,

I want to ask for some opinions on my current setup and how I pretend to use it for my Media Server:

Current Layout

I currently use an UGREEN DXP2800 NAS running TrueNAS Scale with two 4 TB HDDs in Mirror mode. This is planned to be my "long-term storage" for backups, photos, and so on.

Additionally, I have 1 TB SSD installed in the system. I created two datasets on it: one for Docker containers and the other one for Media, following the TRaSH guides folder layout

My current plan:

My idea is to use the SSD for the torrents and the seeds, and once the file (e.g. the ~~movie ~~ Linux ISO Image) is completed, to move it to the HDDs. From there, Jellyfin would read the corresponding dataset and play the media.

The question:

The TRaSH guides puts a lot of emphasis on hardlinks and atomic moves, and that forces you to operate in one single filesystem. Is it worth it to stick to the TRaSH guide or my current setup would work just fine? What do y'all think?

Thanks in advance and happy self-hosting!

White Paper.

Today, video content represents between 70-80% of all mobile data traffic. And low- and mid-tier handsets account for around 75% of handset sales globally. AV1 decoding can be implemented in smartphones in both hardware and software. Our testing has shown that increasing the use of AV1 in low- to mid-tier smartphones can deliver video quality on par with premium handsets and free up network capacity while optimising computing power and storage.

Stanzi hitting all the right notes (imo) regarding this whole situation for past 2 weeks.

It doesn't make sense to mourn for a person who would have gladly seen you and millions others dead in the streets.

From US news | The Guardian via this RSS feed

El Fasher had been under siege for more than 500 days. In May 2024, the UN warned it teetered on the “brink of famine”. No aid has entered since. Somehow, against all odds, El Fasher has not fallen. Its defenders – a hotchpotch of volunteers like Abdelghaffa, rebels such as Bakhit and a depleted infantry battalion – have been shoehorned into a shrinking slice of the pulverised city with 260,000 trapped residents, half of them children.

Yet aid has not entered for nearly 18 months.The evidence indicates a key US and UK ally intervened to effectively derail lifesaving humanitarian aid entering El Fasher. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) intruded at a critical stage; hundreds of children are believed to have since died from starvation in the city.

The UAE, repeatedly accused of supplying arms to the RSF, denies it supports the group. Informed sources monitoring the crisis claim that one of the longest urban sieges of modern warfare has only been possible because of such backing. “The UAE is the lifeline to the siege. Without its support, the RSF would have called it off.”

BERLIN - Two Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-15 aircraft arrived for defense exchanges at a military base in northeastern Germany on Tuesday following a stop in Britain, marking the first-ever deployment of ASDF fighter jets to Europe.

Since earlier this month, Japan has sent F-15s, along with transport and refueling planes, to the United States, Canada and Britain as part of Atlantic Eagles friendly visits to enhance defense cooperation

Companies approached by the eSafety commissioner this month about the requirement to prevent under 16s from holding social media accounts from 10 December have conducted a self-assessment that the commissioner will use to decide if they need to comply with the ban.

eSafety will not be formally declaring which service meets the criteria but companies that eSafety believes meet the criteria will be expected to comply.

The United Nations believes it has solved the mystery of why an escalator abruptly stopped shortly after Donald Trump stepped onto it on Tuesday - his videographer may have accidentally triggered a safety mechanism.

U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said a readout of the escalator's central processing unit indicated it "had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator."

He said Trump's videographer had been traveling backwards up the escalator to capture his arrival with First Lady Melania Trump.

There’s no such thing as a complete vacuum. Even in the cosmic void between galaxies, there’s an estimated density of about one hydrogen or helium atom per cubic meter. But these estimates are largely theoretical—no one has yet launched a sensor into intergalactic space and beamed back the result. On top of that, we have no means of measuring vacuums that low.

At least, not yet.

Researchers are now developing a new vacuum-measurement tool that may be able to detect lower densities than any existing techniques can. This new quantum sensor uses individual atoms, cooled to just shy of absolute zero, to serve as targets for stray particles to hit. These atom-based vacuum measurers can detect lower atomic concentrations than ever before, and they don’t require calibration, making them a good candidate to serve as a standard.

Italy is sending a ship to accompany the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, who said its activists remain shaken but determined following an Israeli attack on Wednesday morning.

Organisers of expedition, which is attempting to carry aid to the Gaza Strip, shared footage this morning appears to show an explosion that detonated on one of the flotilla's vessels.

Late on Tuesday activists heard explosions and saw drones that targeted some of their boats, currently situated off Greece. "Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed and explosions heard from a number of boats," the Global Sumud Flotilla said.

"I have authorised the immediate intervention of the Navy's frigate Fasan, which was sailing north of Crete and is heading towards the area," Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement.
